The Volkswagen ID (so called) is the expression of the state of the art in automotive technology developed by VW.
I drove the Volkswagen electric of the future. The electric car of tomorrow according to the VW group, unveiled with great fanfare at the Paris motor show. Wizard virtually, to be precise, because this car is still a prototype incomplete. But the system of virtual reality and augmented reality, with the famous "oculus" (that is, the digital mask that can be worn on the eyes and that lets you live and touch a virtual reality) has been able to immerse myself with great realism for a few minutes in the world of the future. And let me experience virtually from the real effect is going to be to drive a day the first VW electric new generation that will come on the market around 2020. And then we start the journey at the wheel. Indeed, on-board because the more that ride it I did scarrozzare, seen that is to guide autonomous.
The Volkswagen ID (so called) is the expression of the state of the art in automotive technology developed by VW. Contains all of the technology that Volkswagen think you can put working in the car of the future, around 2020, at which date, according to the germans, this car is electric autonomous guided you will travel safely on our roads. And Vlkswagen is convinced to be able to sell at a price comparable to that of a traditional Golf diesel-equipped kitchen of today: then a little more than 20 thousand euros.
The only thing equal to the cars of today are the size. The Volkswagen ID is a compact four-door large more or less like a Golf. And the Golf looks like in both form and in the "cut" of the rear lights. But the similarities end here. The first thing Volkswagen ID not go get to the parking lot, but is she by you: you call it with the appropriate App on the iPhone, you press the button "raccoglimi" and she comes, silent, and precise. When it is in front of you, she opens the four gates which are symmetrical: the two in the front open 90 degrees, the two in the back instead of flowing sideways, and then pop open to the wind and give you access to all of the car and not the classic pillar that divides the doors and that hinders to climb on board. Then, as silently as it arrived, the VW ID starts with you on board.
Silently, because, of course, is electric: has a motor that generates 125 kW, which correspond to 170 horses. Enough to shoot from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 8 seconds and touch a maximum speed of 160 km / h. Its batteries are recharged inductively: without physical contact, without the need of a cable that is connected to the current. Just move the VW over a plate that "transmits" to the battery voltage to charge the battery. And it will not be a problem to upload it because it will go to her alone, after having left the work, at the restaurant or at home, to recharge alone. It will load in a hurry, not like the electrical of today that require a whole night. In half an hour 80% of the charge will be made. And with a full current will have up to 600 km of autonomy.
At the edge I sit down and I clench the steering wheel (white) between the hands to drive. If I go, I do as well, but why bother to keep an eye on the road and traffic when we could relax and get scarrozzare by you in a much safer way? the Change the mode of the guide and move on to the completely autonomous is easy: just press the logo "VW" in the center of the steering wheel for three seconds. Join the guide program auto. At that point I leave the grip of the steering wheel, this retracts, and is "immersed" in the dashboard. I I relax on the seat, I observe the people on the streets while the car drives itself, slowing down and stopping in front of pedestrians, riaccelerando with the road free. Obviously I must have set a destination on the navigation, using buttons or voice command, otherwise you don’t know where to go. Arrival at the destination: lin ID stops, opens the doors, he moves the seat and wheel to the outside, it makes me get off, and if it goes away by itself to park and recharge.
Ah, of course, and the key? It’s not. I recognize her through the phone. As he already knows those who use an Apple computer, to purchase a car I will have an identity that is unique and exclusive; an ID that is a user profile that keeps track of all my information related to the car: from the position of the seats, to the temperature that I prefer for the climate, the music I listen to, up to phone contacts to transfer to the on-board computer. This user profile will be saved on the cloud of VW and you will be matched with the numbers of the mobile phones of me and my family or anyone autorizzerò to drive (or be carried) from the Volkswagen ID. Once you start the App on the phone, the ID will recognize the identity of my or who has been authorized by me, and will come to pick us up for the next trip.
